When viewers walk through the Northeast Gallery at the Tippecanoe Arts Federation, Jennifer Reitmeyer hopes they see only beautiful images.

She doesn't want them to stop and think about all the layers she added to each piece, crafting them into a final product for the works focused on nature. She doesn't want them to think about how she took the photographs, or scanned the leaves, how she made transparencies and hand-colored the flower petals. And she doesn't want them to contemplate how she used plaster or copper or aluminum to create nests, or used crayons or paint.
